Forum Admins Obligation

[mosley700]

I've been getting a lot of requests to remove threads where people talk about their adsense earnings. I've complied so far as a courtesy, but if I didn't, would Google be terminating these people's accounts?

I find it odd that I am asked to remove threads from my forum, when I have no relationship with Adsense whatsoever.

who has been asking you to remove the threads?

The Google team emailed my forum administrator on one occasion, and a few other members got emails demanding that their posts be removed from my forum. They don't have the ability to remove their own posts. They can edit them, but not delete them, and in some occasions the posts were replied to with quotes.

It's a real pain finding the posts and editing them... (;

mosley700 - I'd find it hard to imagine that you would be held liable for any of the conversations here although slander has been known to cause problems on other boards. You personally are not under the somewhat restrictive TOC of Google. Just my two cents and I rather enjoy the free open speech. My hat is off to you.

>would Google be terminating these people's accounts?

My guess is "yes" for those flagrantly ignoring Google's TOS.

BTW, you'll notice that we've reminded several members here (and they were subsequently edited by the member) that they have a non-disclosure binding them.
